Five men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a stabbing near a Black Country club.

Police were called to The Stourbridge Academy, on Hagley Road, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Three men were taken to hospital – one with a stab wound. Two of them have been discharged, while another has been described as being in a “stable condition”.

A nearby resident told the Birmingham Mail yesterday: “I opened my curtains to see ‘scene of crime’ tape everywhere. There was also a small tent nearby.

“I presume it was being used to protect evidence.”

A spokesman for West Midlands Police confirmed: “Officers were called at 3.23 hours on Sunday morning to The Stourbridge Academy in Hagley Road. Five men were arrested by police in connection with the incident on suspicion of attempted murder.” They were later released on bail pending further enquiries.
